Anyone here with experience with the MBNA Choice Privileges Mastercard in Canada?
Terms indicate 5 points / $ spent at Choice Hotels properties (and 2 points everywhere else). However, I have been finding that I am only awarded 4 points / $ at Choice properties. 2 points are awarded on the MBNA card statement and appear on the Choice points account as credit card spending, while the other 2 points appear as a 'bonus' in the Choice points account.
Tried to call MBNA; they feign ignorance; told me that Choice awards the 'bonus' points. Choice directs me back to MBNA.
I've had the card since 2011 and its always been this way. Was insignificant initially so I didn't care, but I've been spending a lot more at Choice properties recently (>100 nights YTD 2012) and its adding up.
